"The Jacket Dress provides complete costume chic" from McCalls Magazine in June of 1934. Don't miss the descriptions..."fairly glistening with fashion prestige"No. 7825 Maedchen in a Uniform of Fashion. The Jacket Dress, without which neither you or your popularity will be complete. Ruffles cascade about a demure neckline to form a collar. A split capelet sleeve waves in the wind. The peplum ties appealingly.

No. 7846 Just a jabot! But what a smart difference it makes as it spreads wings from a roundly rolled collar. The dress is trimly tricky. The jacket is short and symmetrical with a split sleeve that is designed to expose a circle of frothy fullness.

No. 7850 The redingote, slim of line, trim of detail! It slips off and you have a dress, subtly soft, freshly formal and fairly glistening with fashion prestige. The link cuff sleeve of the coat expresses the modern mode. The bodice bow is fetchingly feminine.
